I want to be a warlord

Chapter 219 A $1000 Million Business

What is American efficiency!
Wang Zhen saw it this time!

In his mind, such a big matter, it is not done right away, it is nothing more than opening a base, in China, the blueprints of the military base are ready-made, once the decision is made, a phone call can immediately mobilize manpower to deal with the local Conduct an overnight test on hydrology and geography, and work will definitely start within three days.

But it has been a week, and Wang Zhen has not heard of any movement. At first, he thought that the location chosen by the military base was somewhere else, but when Feisal asked, there was no such place in the entire upper reaches of the Euphrates River. There are signs of work!
I only found out after asking John again that the funding approval process has not yet been completed from Congress...

According to the usual situation, if the site selection and construction of the base can be completed within one month, it is already very fast.

"Damn it, military operations, so slow?" Wang Zhen's expression was in disbelief.

It's outrageous!
"What's the problem? The approval of funds has to go to the Congress, and the dispatch of troops has to be approved by the president. It is impossible to send troops directly if there is a problem. The Wujiao Building does not have this right." John took it for granted.

What can Wang Zhen say?
The Western world is like this, paying attention to the separation of powers, and focusing on locking power in a cage.

He is said to be the president of the world's largest country, but to put it bluntly, he is just a wage earner!

It doesn't matter if you quit your job.

Of course, it's not that exaggerated, it's better than a fart.

On February 03, 2, the criminal evidence of Silly Damu was taken out, and a tube of laundry was taken out, but it was not until one and a half months later, on March 5, that the troops were successfully dispatched...

It's that slow!
"Have you decided where to build the base?" Wang Zhen changed the subject.

"No, there are currently three options, Gaim on the border, Anai on the upper reaches of Lake Ghadinaya, and Khadi Sai on the lower reaches."

"I think Hardy Sai is pretty good." Wang Zhen blurted out. Hardy Sai is only 20 kilometers away from Balwanai.

"Heh, heh..." John chuckled a few times.

Wang Zhen touched his nose, well, he can't interfere with the decision-making of the US military.

"That's fine, that's it. As an information provider, do you want to give some advice!" After finishing speaking, Wang Zhen hung up the phone directly.

In addition, he really thinks Hadi Sai is the best, because if Aisisi really wants to cut off the river, there is the upstream Gardinaya Lake, which can store a large amount of water, and then he can play another wave of opening the gates to release the water. Flood attacks are more damaging downstream.

Of course, he didn't mention this suggestion!

Including breaking the river and diverting it, Wang Zhen really didn't do it on purpose, John asked casually, he just said casually, who knew that the Wujiao Building and Ace Ace were involved.

Shake your head and don't think too much about it. Regardless of whether the U.S. military finally builds a base in Khadi Sai, the base chosen by Faisal is in Barwanai. If you can't wait, then develop it yourself first!
In this way, maybe you can still enjoy the dividends of the US military building bases!
The more he thought about it, the more reliable Wang Zhen felt. The construction of the U.S. military base itself must have been taken care of by American companies, but there are so many people, eating and drinking, consumption by Japan and North Korea, etc...

The U.S. military is all big money. The U.S. base in the Philippines provided 13% of the country’s GDP.

……

Location: Brilliant Defense Building, small meeting room.

Characters: Wang Zhen, Feisal, You Congyi.

You Congyi, who was in the construction business before, was on the rescue list in Wangzhen.

There are many Chinese businessmen in Iraq, and the official ones are engaged in oil fields, petrochemicals, electric power, water conservancy, and construction.

Private Chinese businessmen are mostly engaged in food, clothing, daily necessities, household appliances, machinery, and construction.

Wang Zhen is going to build a training base in Balwanai this time, so he must find a familiar Chinese businessman.

Not to mention that he has face with Chinese businessmen, the key is that it is cheap, fast and easy to use.

"This base should be close to the urban area. In this location, it is estimated that the number of people living in the training base should be 500 people. There are not only soldiers, but also logistics service personnel, etc. How many buildings do you need?" Wang Zhen asked.

"How about four people in one room, do you need an indoor bathroom?" You Congyi asked.

Wang Zhen looked at Feisal.

"Six people, bunk beds, unified bathroom, washroom is fine, this condition is already very good." Faisal said.

"In addition, design a few more double rooms and single rooms with bathrooms." Wang Zhen added that he would not engage in any tricks of sharing weal and woe with the people below.

"In this case, three dormitory buildings will be built. I don't recommend making it too high. The 5th floor is the best. If it is too high, it will easily become a target. You Congyi thought about it and said."

"One with six floors, two with four floors, and the six-story one with a high-roofed attic. The attic will be thicker." Wang Zhen had other ideas.

You Congyi looked at it from a security point of view, they had no counterattack ability, but Wang Zhen looked at the problem from an offensive point of view, with a sniper in his hand, of course he had to create a commanding height!
In this regard, You Congyi must have listened to what the employer said.

"In addition to the dormitory, we need a cafeteria, a mosque, four playgrounds for training, two shooting ranges, and four basketball courts. Well, the playground is a bit bigger, and the two can be used as a football field when connected." Wang Zhen thought for a while and added another sentence.

With so many old men gathered together, it is impossible to do nothing but training all day, and proper physical activity is a must.

For sports activities, football is a must. Despite the war in Iraq, there is not even a serious football field in the country, but they play football well, ranking 5-7 in Asia.

After all, playing football well is also a way out. Whether you go to a few countries in the Middle East to play in the league or go to Europe, the income is very high.

It was a shortcut to escape from Iraq. There were almost no shady scenes, black whistle, and paying to play.

After all, it doesn’t matter if everyone has a gun here. If you block someone’s way of life, you will kill them with a single shot. Throwing bombs is not a rare thing!

These are all normal needs of a training base, and they are nothing more than higher sturdiness requirements in terms of buildings.

"In addition, I need one or two underground arsenals, which are arranged in these three locations respectively. The two sets of generator sets must also be arranged separately. The outer ring must have a wall. It does not need to be high, just 1.5 meters."

The ammunition must be opened separately, one is convenient to access, and the other is to prevent it from being blown up.

Of course, Wang Zhen didn't really think that Ace and Ace's people would have such things as ground-penetrating bombs, but he was prepared, and the generator set was the same.

Modern times are not ancient times. The wall is too high to be useless. It acts as a bunker and makes it impossible for people to jump in at once.

"Calculate the price?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"The price will be higher." You Congyi frowned and said: "We are our own people, I can't lie to you, ordinary houses can be built with coal fly ash cement, and you can't see much difference, but I'm honest Say, if you really want to resist shells or explosions, you have to use high-strength Portland special cement."

"According to the strength grade, those with strength grades 32.5 and 32.5R can be used for some housing constructions, and those with strength grades above 42.5 can be used for building larger bridges or factory buildings, as well as some important road surfaces and manufacturing prefabricated components."

"I suggest you to use 42.5R for this. If you add a little thickness, the general RPG will never be able to shoot. Of course, if you have higher requirements, if you can't break 105mm or even 130mm artillery, then use it. 62.5-strength cement, but that strength is too high, and it is used to protect important facilities and resist missiles."

Wang Zhen quickly waved his hand, "It's not that exaggerated, just 42.5R, it's enough to resist RPG."

After all, it's my own person, I made it so clear.

"Uh... Let me ask you one more question. Are you talking about all buildings that can withstand RPG? Including dormitory walls? Load-bearing columns are definitely fine, but ordinary walls can also withstand it?" You Congyi He asked again, "The Iraqi side is not a high-rise building, and the walls have no load-bearing or cold-proof requirements. They are basically half a brick thick."

"How thick is half a brick?" Wang Zhen asked.

"The bricks are placed horizontally, plus the cement applied on the inner and outer layers, it is about 120mm."

"So thin? No wonder the 7.62 was pierced through with one shot!" Wang Zhen was stunned.

"It's like this in the south. It's enough. Besides, we don't use bricks, but concrete. 42.5R, let alone 7.62, you can't break through even 12.7."

"What about hard-resistant RPGs?"

"It's better to be 180 mm, but the cost will be higher. This is the standard for high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors, and such high-strength cement will not be used."

Even though the theoretical penetration of RPG is 350 mm, it is still a homogeneous steel plate, but in actual combat, this kind of damage cannot be dealt, less than half of it can be dealt, and the performance of the energy-gathering effect on cement is also greatly reduced.

Wang Zhen looked at Feisal, and Feisal gritted his teeth and asked, "How much is the price difference?"

"Double!" You Congyi explained: "In the construction industry, the water is very deep. The price difference between these two kinds of cement alone is 75%. In addition, it needs to be equipped with steel bars of sufficient strength, and sand or gravel is also mixed. , The price, hardness, anti-oxidation and other standards of sand and gravel are different.”

"With Mr. Wang here, I will definitely use the best ones, but I really can't beat the price."

"I did some calculations. The area of ​​the base must be at least 0.8 square kilometers, and it must not be less than 1000 million US dollars. The specifics will be calculated after the blueprint is released."

"It's so expensive! There aren't many buildings. The ordinary hardened concrete floor of the training ground will do." Wang Zhen was taken aback.

Feisal was indifferent, he believed that the Prophet would take care of everything!
"One square meter starts at US$1000 to $1200. For 500 people, accommodation, canteens, mosques, training grounds, weapon warehouses, etc., the average person needs 15 square meters. This is not counting walls, mainly because of building materials such as cement and steel bars. , the entire Middle East can’t produce it, so it has to be imported from home.”

"Cough, cough, cough..." Wang Zhen coughed. Damn, this is really a knife pulling his ass, and his eyes were opened.

You don’t need to ask Feisal, he knows that even if the people of the Democratic Peace Party are sucked to the bones, they will not be able to spend so much money.

Half impossible!
"Look at the invoice." You Congyi also felt that something was wrong, and asked in Chinese.

"You can pull it down..." Wang Zhen rolled his eyes.

Money, what a fucking waste!
